Acts 18
1 After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth.
| وَبَعْدَ هَذَا مَضَى بُولُسُ مِنْ أَثِينَا وَجَاءَ إِلَى كُورِنْثُوسَ، | ١ |
2 And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;
| فَوَجَدَ يَهُودِيًّا ٱسْمُهُ أَكِيلَا، بُنْطِيَّ ٱلْجِنْسِ، كَانَ قَدْ جَاءَ حَدِيثًا مِنْ إِيطَالِيَةَ، وَبِرِيسْكِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُ، لِأَنَّ كُلُودِيُوسَ كَانَ قَدْ أَمَرَ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْيَهُودِ مِنْ رُومِيَةَ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِمَا. | ٢ |
3 And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.
| وَلِكَوْنِهِ مِنْ صِنَاعَتِهِمَا أَقَامَ عِنْدَهُمَا وَكَانَ يَعْمَلُ، لِأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا فِي صِنَاعَتِهِمَا خِيَامِيَّيْنِ. | ٣ |
4 And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith.
| وَكَانَ يُحَاجُّ فِي ٱلْمَجْمَعِ كُلَّ سَبْتٍ وَيُقْنِعُ يَهُودًا وَيُونَانِيِّينَ. | ٤ |
5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
| وَلَمَّا ٱنْحَدَرَ سِيلَا وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ مِنْ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، كَانَ بُولُسُ مُنْحَصِرًا بِٱلرُّوحِ وَهُوَ يَشْهَدُ لِلْيَهُودِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. | ٥ |
6 And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles.
| وَإِذْ كَانُوا يُقَاوِمُونَ وَيُجَدِّفُونَ نَفَضَ ثِيَابَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «دَمُكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ! أَنَا بَرِيءٌ. مِنَ ٱلْآنَ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ». | ٦ |
7 And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.
| فَٱنْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى بَيْتِ رَجُلٍ ٱسْمُهُ يُوسْتُسُ، كَانَ مُتَعَبِّدًا لِلهِ، وَكَانَ بَيْتُهُ مُلَاصِقًا لِلْمَجْمَعِ. | ٧ |
8 And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.
| وَكِرِيسْبُسُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ آمَنَ بِٱلرَّبِّ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ، وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكُورِنْثِيِّينَ إِذْ سَمِعُوا آمَنُوا وَٱعْتَمَدُوا. | ٨ |
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching:
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِبُولُسَ بِرُؤْيَا فيِ ٱللَّيْلِ: «لَا تَخَفْ، بَلْ تَكَلَّمْ وَلَا تَسْكُتْ، | ٩ |
10 For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town.
| لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ، وَلَا يَقَعُ بِكَ أَحَدٌ لِيُؤْذِيَكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي شَعْبًا كَثِيرًا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». | ١٠ |
11 And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
| فَأَقَامَ سَنَةً وَسِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ يُعَلِّمُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ. | ١١ |
12 But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat,
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ غَالِيُونُ يَتَوَلَّى أَخَائِيَةَ، قَامَ ٱلْيَهُودُ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ عَلَى بُولُسَ، وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ | ١٢ |
13 Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law.
| قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا يَسْتَمِيلُ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا ٱللهَ بِخِلَافِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ». | ١٣ |
14 But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:
| وَإِذْ كَانَ بُولُسُ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَفْتَحَ فَاهُ قَالَ غَالِيُونُ لِلْيَهُودِ: «لَوْ كَانَ ظُلْمًا أَوْ خُبْثًا رَدِيًّا أَيُّهَا ٱلْيَهُودُ، لَكُنْتُ بِٱلْحَقِّ قَدِ ٱحْتَمَلْتُكُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.
| وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كَانَ مَسْأَلَةً عَنْ كَلِمَةٍ، وَأَسْمَاءٍ، وَنَامُوسِكُمْ، فَتُبْصِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ. لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَشَاءُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَاضِيًا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ». | ١٥ |
16 And he sent them away from the judge's seat.
| فَطَرَدَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ. | ١٦ |
17 And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.
| فَأَخَذَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ سُوسْتَانِيسَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، وَضَرَبُوهُ قُدَّامَ ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ، وَلَمْ يَهُمَّ غَالِيُونَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.
| وَأَمَّا بُولُسُ فَلَبِثَ أَيْضًا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، ثُمَّ وَدَّعَ ٱلْإِخْوَةَ وَسَافَرَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى سُورِيَّةَ، وَمَعَهُ بِرِيسْكِلَّا وَأَكِيلَا، بَعْدَمَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ فِي كَنْخَرِيَا لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ نَذْرٌ. | ١٨ |
19 And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
| فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ وَتَرَكَهُمَا هُنَاكَ. وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَجْمَعَ وَحَاجَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ. | ١٩ |
20 And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No;
| وَإِذْ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ عِنْدَهُمْ زَمَانًا أَطْوَلَ لَمْ يُجِبْ. | ٢٠ |
21 And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.
| بَلْ وَدَّعَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «يَنْبَغِي عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ ٱلْعِيدَ ٱلْقَادِمَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَلَكِنْ سَأَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْضًا إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللهُ». فَأَقْلَعَ مِنْ أَفَسُسَ. | ٢١ |
22 And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch.
| وَلَمَّا نَزَلَ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ صَعِدَ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ، ثُمَّ ٱنْحَدَرَ إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith.
| وَبَعْدَمَا صَرَفَ زَمَانًا خَرَجَ وَٱجْتَازَ بِٱلتَّتَابُعِ فِي كُورَةِ غَلَاطِيَّةَ وَفِرِيجِيَّةَ يُشَدِّدُ جَمِيعَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.
| ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ يَهُودِيٌّ ٱسْمُهُ أَبُلُّوسُ، إِسْكَنْدَرِيُّ ٱلْجِنْسِ، رَجُلٌ فَصِيحٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ فِي ٱلْكُتُبِ. | ٢٤ |
25 This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism:
| كَانَ هَذَا خَبِيرًا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ وَهُوَ حَارٌّ بِٱلرُّوحِ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيُعَلِّمُ بِتَدْقِيقٍ مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِٱلرَّبِّ. عَارِفًا مَعْمُودِيَّةَ يُوحَنَّا فَقَطْ. | ٢٥ |
26 And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God.
| وَٱبْتَدَأَ هَذَا يُجَاهِرُ فِي ٱلْمَجْمَعِ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهُ أَكِيلَا وَبِرِيسْكِلَّا أَخَذَاهُ إِلَيْهِمَا، وَشَرَحَا لَهُ طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْثَرِ تَدْقِيقٍ. | ٢٦ |
27 And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace:
| وَإِذْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ إِلَى أَخَائِيَةَ، كَتَبَ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ إِلَى ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ يَحُضُّونَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهُ. فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سَاعَدَ كَثِيرًا بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَدْ آمَنُوا، | ٢٧ |
28 For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus.
| لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ بِٱشْتِدَادٍ يُفْحِمُ ٱلْيَهُودَ جَهْرًا، مُبَيِّنًا بِٱلْكُتُبِ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ. | ٢٨ |
